Correspondence Of the Alexandria GAZETTE
RAPPAHANNoCK, Jan. 25.-We had the
pleasure last Saturday, the 22d, of enjoying,
with great many others, big dinner, as
we rustics call it, given in honor of the Goth
anniversary of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Death.
erage's wedding day. Ever since their
golden wedding, ten years ago, they have
kept the day, and as each year rolls around
on their anniversary a large company of
relatives and friends gather to enjoy the
hospitality of the aged couple. She is IS
and he So, and their age sits on them like
crown of glory, as they go hand in hand.
She was a Miss Burr, born in Connecticut,
but moved at an early age 10 Virginia.
She is third cousin of Aaron Burr. She
is one of the most accom- ished ladies Of
her time. Highly educated, no subject
could be mentioned that she could not talk
of and interest dozens for several hours.
Mr.. d. Tor Uncle Robin, as every one calls
him. is Virginia gentleman, a descendant
of Cecil Calvert and fourth cousin Of Gen.
Zachary Taylor. They have had seven
children, but all have gone before and are
waiting on the other side" Not one child
left to them in their old age, only one SON.

and three grandsons, one OF whom is now at
the University. A great many of Alexau-
dria'a old citizens will rem ember Mr.. D. as he
often visited among them ''in the days of
yore." He was at Lafayette's reception
and stood under the arch on Washington
street as he passed by. He has attended
the synod great many times; both he and
his wife are thorough going Presbyteians.
He often speaks with so much pleasure of
his Alexandria friends, and of the many
who have passed away.
Laft Sunday week we attended the burial
OF Mr.. John Jett, one of the most highly re.
spected citizens of this county. He was
buried in the old family graveyard. He
was at one time, before the war, the wealth.
lest man in the county, but the war came
and his wealth all went. Only one relative
"a devoted nephew, and about dozen
friends, followed him to his last resting
place. The parson couldn't keep up with
the funeral, and he was lowered to his grave
without one word. Not sound was heard
but the rustling of the dry leaves and the
wind signing through the trees, and as we
turned sadly away from the new-made
grave, our thoughts went blackjack, and
we thought that some of US perhaps might
live too long. If he had died, say, twenty
five years ago, what an immense concourse
of people would have been there; what la
mentations over the rich man-but, alas
his riches fled long years ago. So there was
funeral without tear, and we left him
with nothing but leaves"

thriftiest farmers, Familiarity known by some
of the "boys" as "Fayoite, the fiddler" liv-
ing about one mile from our village, owns
and performs on one of the oldest violins
that we ever saw. Pasted inside of said
violin is a card bearing the following SEN
tence and date, "Autorius SLradurius, Gre.
mona, faciebat Auno 1872" which makes
the violin about two hundred and fifteen
years old. Tine violin was brought fro m
Arkansas by Mr.. A. S. Payne, and by him
presented to its present owner. who, by the
way, is not only good farmer, but one of
the best amateur performers on the violin
in the country. He values his instrument
not only for its having been presented to
him by friend, but for its intrinsic value,
as instruments of that make and stamp have
sold for three thousand dollars.
A large number Of candidates are in the
field for election 10 the different county and

have no opponent. Mr.. E. G. Edmonds,
who has filled The Office of county treasurer
with credit to himself. and entire satisfac.

will be between Mr.. ]. NJ. Daniel, and Mr..

Why Churchill Resigned.

! Ia the British House of Commons yester
day Lord Randolph Churchill entered upon
an explanation of the reasons which led him
to resign the CHARACTERISTIC of the exche
quer. He said he retired because the gov
ernment's naval and military estimates ex'
ceeded 81 100000 pounds, without counting
the large supplementary estimates. He in
sisted on having these estimates reduced,
but his colleagues refused to cut them down,
although" added Lord Randolph, II had
been urging economy eyer since August"
Lord Randolph then referred to the govern
ment's foreign policy, add declared, amid
loud opposition cheers: II also objected to
the governments policy of needless inter.
ference in the affairs of other nations"
Continuing, Lord Randolph said he wrote
to Lord Salisbury complaining of the exces.
sive estimates. The premier answered that
he deemed the estimates moderate, and re-
ferred to the danger Of war and tue neces-
sity of protecting the coaling stations OF the
empire. In conclusion, Lord Randolph,
whose speech of explanation lasted forty
minutes, quoted from his last letter to Lord
Salisbury the statement that he left the cab
met with regret, but without misgiying or
hesitation.
Lord Randolph Churchill dwelt upon the
statement that he resigned because he was
unable to acquiesce in the governments
army and navy estimates on account Of their
extravagance, from his point of view, hav-
ing pledged himself to a policy of
retrenchment and economy. He was
convinced, he said, that such q
policy could be safely carried out
and, therefore, ne could not, he felt, retain
place in the government when be found
that his colleagues refused to try to retrencb.
"The policy of this country" he said,
SHOULD be peaceful everywhere. Cheers.
The governments estimates were too great
for time of peace. 1t has been said that
resigned in haste. The fact is that there
were difficulties between myself and my
colleagues in the cabinet almost from the
beginning of the present government.
Cheers and laughter. AS did not desire
to remain wrangling in the cabinet, asked
to be allowed to retire unless the govern
ment expenses were reduced within abso-
lutte peace limits. The Marquis of Salisbury
wrote in response to my request, defending
the estimates in the face of possible war, as
he said. There was no course left open for
me but to write my resignation, stating that
I declined to be o party in the game for the
high and desperate stakes other nations
were playing for, and have seen no reason
since to regret the step took" [Cheers
Mr. w. H. Smith said the cabinet tried
to retain Lord Randolph Churchill, whose
action, it was thought, might have been
modified if time had been allowed to discuss
the differences, which were susceptible of
The subject was then dropped.
